bill clinton appeals to both. >> how much do you think that bill clinton speaking out so forcefully for barack obama right now has to do more possibly with president clinton in 2016? >> no, i don't think so. >> i would vote less possible. i don't mean not at all, but i vote less possible. clinton's a democrat. he wants this democratic president to succeed. and if that also potentially helps his wife down the line, if she decides -- she says she's not interested, but if she changes her mind, so be it. >> if the economy starts to recover in obama's second term, you're better off with a democrat in the white house than mitt romney running for re-election. by the way, bill clinton, elizabeth warren, very different messages. a reminder that bill clinton is still -- barack obama and bill clinton are still not exactly on the same page about how you build a majority coalition and how inclusive you are versus how confrontational. >> and clinton is the great conciliator, and that is not president obama. he's never been known as a great conciliator. so different agendas. >> thanks very much. good

now with two democrats in the white house, bill clinton and barack obama, we're seeing a large number of democrats become republicans. we're seeing the blue dogs go away. what's so interesting in the past 10, 15 years if you look at cnn or any of the other networks or in the newspapers, there are a whole lot more articles about the coming death of the republican party, at the hands of extremism on the right than you ever see about the democrats, who are losing in appalacia. i think the death of the republican party the people have been talking about for a decade is now greatly exaggerated. >> are you worried that more african-americans will bolt from the democratic party and move over to the republican party like artur davis? >> absolutely, wolf. i'm worried about african-americans, young people, minorities, blue collar white. we have to work hard to earn their vote, get their trust. and support the values they stand for. growth and prosperity on a budget that works for the middle class and others. so i don't think we're in danger of losing it. what i'm worried about is the repeated l

the blame lies with bill clinton for easing import restrictions contrary to law that allowed walmart to begin sourcing every product it could to china. and barney frank for easing mortgage underwriting standards asserting everyone should have the right to a home without understanding that a mortgage was supposed to be paid back. these two democrats have created the greatest outflow of capital from a country the world has ever seen. until 2065, that's when the current people will be replaced by people taught in history class that george w. bush was a great man who saved america from a man in a cave who had access to box cutters. if you want to read more about this, go to the blog, cnn.com/caffertyfile or through our post on "the situation room" facebook page. >> jack, thanks very much. right at the top of the hour we're going to cairo. dramatic developments unfolding right now on the streets of the egyptian capital. i am from baltimore south carolina... bloomington, california... austin, texas... we are all here to represent the country we love this is for everyone back home it's go t

that bill clinton, the former u.s. president, be named a special middle east u.s. enjoy. george mitchell had that until about a year and a half ago. what do you think of that idea? >> there's no bigger fan of bill clinton than me. he's got a huge experience in the middle east. but all these decisions have to be taken by the president and the new secretary of state. but whatever you do by way of people coming into the situation, whether it's bill clinton, me, george mitchell, whoever it is, the essential thing is you have to have a strategy to move this situation forward. and i think the basic three principles offered are, one, a credible political negotiation, which has some shape or framework to it. so we're negotiating the basic outlines of that negotiation. secondly, there are changes on the ground, both in the economy and development that support the negotiation, don't operate against it. and thirdly, there's got to be some way of reconciling palestinian politics on the right type of basis so that you're dealing with a united partner on the palestinian side as well as

number two, the first person he called was bill clinton, as you know. i think it's an indication given he called him, given he thanked him, that he himself appreciates what the president has done not only on the campaign trail but going back to the convention. but also they are kindred spirits with the same middle class economic agenda. that is what i meanwhile they governed as different times, different people, they are kindred spirits in the same kind of progressive agenda built on an economic strategy that strengthens the middle class. i say this repeatedly because i'm worried washington's going to get into one of its myopic discussions among itself that it's only about austerity and lose sight about i think an agenda that i think helps build our infrastructure, invest in the education and training of our work force, things the president advocated that gives people a vested interest in the outcome. it is not only austerity, fiscal discipline, yes. but it's a pro-growth strategy realizing the fundamentals that both president clinton and president obam

his name was bill clinton. and it's interesting, when he first came into office, his economic plan asked the wealthier americans to play a little more so we could reduce our deficit and invest in the skills and ideas of our people. and at the time, the republican congress and a certain senate candidate by the name of mitt romney -- [ crowd booing ] don't boo, vote. vote. you don't need to boo. folks can't hear you boo, but they can hear you vote. anyway, this candidate, mr. romney, along with the republican congress, they all said, bill clinton's playing us terrible. it will hurt the economy. it's going to kill jobs. turns out, their math was just as bad then as it is now because by the end of bill clinton's second term, america has created 23 million new jobs. incomes were up, poverty was down and our deficit had become a surplus. we've tried our ideas and they work. how about the other guy's ideas? we tried those, too. after bill clinton left office, the republicans had a chance to try their ideas out. and we
